A new publication, \u201cNanoinformatics 2020 Roadmap\u201d is expected to enable and enhance connections among nanotechnology science and engineering researchers, manufacturers and interested government agencies.\u00a0 Produced by the Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, United States, and several other groups, the publication is the first broad-based nanotechnology community effort to meet the needs and goals of nanoinformatics.\u00a0 According to the article, nanoinformatics is \u201cthe science and practice of determining which information is relevant to the nanoscale science and engineering community, then developing and implementing mechanisms for collecting, validating, storing, sharing, analyzing, modeling and applying that information.\u201d\u00a0 Mark Tuominen, director of the National Nanomanufacturing Network (NNN) at UMass, said, “We strategized so this roadmapping would be steered by and for the nanoinformatics community and no single institution or government agency would dominate. The roadmap is a handbook for ourselves, the broader community and federal agencies.”\u00a0 Tuominen adds, “There are literally thousands of groups doing independent investigations, producing data and a great deal of valuable information, but unable to fully access and use each other\u2019s developments.\u00a0 In our analogy, if one town makes glassware, another makes forks and another spoons, but they\u2019ve never met and shared, they need a way to get together. We\u2019re helping to launch that roadmap, so everyone in nanotechnology across the country can share expertise and new technology can happen.”\u00a0 The Roadmap is available for download online at the link below.<\/p>\n
